Adobe Photoshop (digital) manipulation of photographic imagery. FORGIVE ARCADIA You asked me to write something today / And all I could sense was a blank. / Something on fiction and truth, was what you needed – / But my truth is a brick wall / And buildings that should be shattered / Like crabs’ claws. / Still, this morning I woke up at five / And wondered what would happen / If the earth froze numb at that secret hour – / If I could lift my hand, and make the horizon still. / Then there’d be no one except me, / And the birds. As the moon went out I should / Dance and fly through emptied streets / Away from the city’s cramped horizon / To where the great clouds raced. / Within their wefts, or so I’d like to think, / A sugar veil of crystals / A flurry of icy motes, waiting to catch the sun, / For now still dark with night – / A gust of frozen sparks, perhaps, / Dormant, and charged with the power / Of undiscovered things: unformed, unknown. / And then, having been born again, / I’d creep back to bed, and the smell of cotton. Last night I met a girl, from far-off lands. / She was charming – Finnish, so she said, / And she smiled a numinous smile / On a clear face with peachy skin: / Slender, and lit with an inner glow, / Peaceful and seraphic, / As lucid in form as porcelain, / Or a pink sweetshop mouse. I want to meet her again. But I’d made her up, / In a dream it seems I’d had; all complete, / All fully formed, with a purpose, and a past / Of her own, although she’d never been alive. / And now she’s gone with the dew. / And now I miss her. She was, a think, a succubus of strange benevolence: / Beating inside, her eager heart / That galvanised my moment of epiphany, / And found a path to earth through sleeping limbs. / These ghosts of memory, haunting my waking hours: / Why do you give me time, why do you lend me / Your good aim? Phantasms that could not be, / Specious potentialities, all unborn / You night creatures, far removed / From what the daylight people do, or are; / Those sunshine ones, who own the clear air, / And spread themselves in it; whose clamour makes / A transient misfortune, then they’re gone… / Yet why must you, instead, / Tend me as if I were an orchid of the gloom – / Which, plainly, I am not? I tried to think what heaven might be like / For us, we creatures of blind purpose / Fumbling (as we do) at light. Oblivion would be / Much of it: forgetting for the hundredth time / What we had done before, and comatose with hope, / We should ourselves break free – like birds, or / A flutter of petals, simply because we could. / Nothing to fail us, nothing to expiate, nothing to / Disappoint. Above all, freedom from shame. / Blank-eyed, we’d cup our hands, and find them / Crammed with sweets. Infantilism would be the / Recommended option, that or promiscuity. / We’d flounce like butterflies, or nose our way / As small insectivores do, sniffing for flesh to nip / Without remorse. Inspiring our laborious intent: / The gaze of a cow, chewing on infinity. All animal / Kingdoms would be ours to claim, lacking only people. There’d be no art, no divine discontent: / No knowing laughter, and no more endeavour – / Only the yawning promenade / Of a world stripped of Self. Upon preened wings, / We’d soar through canyons bright as mirrors, / Where everything was fixed and known. Down / We’d dive: to perch, and later, stroll an eternal pleasure / Pier, bounded on each side by the extinction / Of individuals. Our jelly baby guards / (Blameless as halfwits, or as sociopaths) / Their looks too liquid to sustain reproach, / Would urge us safely home, and in a tract of flowers / We’d be immured, and there we’d stick: an endless, timeless / Moment wherein consciousness lay hanged. Paradise, although fortuitous, is where nothing goes unplanned. / It is predestination without fear, without account. / Meanwhile, with brains intact, you’ll promise to let me / Face the glare of what is commonplace. / And, in return, I’ll try to be more even-handed / In indifference. Stephen Jackson June 2002 / For Jan

I love how overgrown this main entrance to the stately home has become, with grass and moss completely taking over the steps and starting to take hold on the ornate stonework around the door.

Another experiment, just going outside of what I know and playing with some different ways of creating my works. Thanks for viewing.

The image has been created as an alternative to the popular and greatly exaggerated theory of global warming and its consequences. Since global warming activists predict a dramatic change of the planet’s surface in the nearest future, the Ice Age Premonition portrays our society in the new Ice Age. / Ice Age – A cold period marked by episodes of extensive glaciations alternating with episodes of relative warmth. Any geologic period during which thick ice sheets cover vast areas of land. Such periods of large-scale glaciations may last several million years and drastically reshape surface features of entire continents. A number of major ice ages have occurred throughout the Earth’s history; the most recent periods were during the Pleistocene Epoch. There have been at least four major ice ages in the Earth’s past. The last glacial period ended about ten thousand years ago. / Surrealism art prints / Digital art prints / Fantasy digital art wallpapers

The beauty of cosmos with the bokeh of night-time, just off the famous Nakamise street in Asakusa.

I found this nice clump of daisies up in Oimachi, not far from where we live. Beautiful.

I love the Big Apple and I love music. My last visit to New York inspired me to create this illustration.

Did some photo work along Baker Beach in San Francisco one late afternoon, and just after sunset, as I was heading home, I stopped and took a few of this scene.

An abandoned pleasure craft up on blocks at St Marks, Florida … hunting around underneath the hull I found some wonderful art work.

Photographed in St James’s Park, London. The grey squirrels are used to people here and some are bold enough to be fed from the hand. However, they have an uncanny instinct about cameras and will move fast when you try and take a picture – especially if you don’t have anything to eat. It took about thirty attempts to get this one image that I was satisfied with. St James’s Park with it’s lake and abundant sycamore trees is across from the main gate of Buckingham Palace.
